Authorities have released a surveillance video of an armed robbery at a cellular phone store earlier this year in north Harris County.

The robbery happened about 10 a.m. on April 20 at a store in the 500 block of West FM 1960, officials said.

Officials said two masked men rushed in to the store. One of the suspects ordered the people inside to lie down on the floor and then marched an employee to a back room, where he ordered the worker to open the safe.

The suspects grabbed what inside the safe and dashed out of the store. They sped away a blue or gray Chevrolet Impala.

A surveillance camera recorded the suspects' images.

Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS or online at www.crime-stoppers.org. Tips can also be sent by text message. Text TIP610 and tips to CRIMES.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the suspects or the filing of felony charges against them.
